DISCONTINUED! Ruby gem for remotely managing LXC hosts

lxc_ssh

lxc_ssh is a ruby gem for managing lxc host systems over an ssh connection. Supports LXC version 1.0 and higher. Depends on net-ssh (https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lxc_ssh'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lxc_ssh

Usage

First create a connection to your system over ssh (currently only the ssh default port is supported) and authenticate as a privileged user (lxc is installed to /usr in this case):

con = LxcSsh::Connection.new
con.connect('my.cool.host', 'root', nil, '/usr')

If no exception occured, you're ready to go.

Get containers

containers = con.manager.containers

Get specific container information

container = con.manager.container 'my-fancy-container-name'

Result:

#<LxcSsh::Container:0x00000000c7ea48 @name="my-fancy-container-name",
                                     @pid="1234",
                                     @state="RUNNING",
                                     @memory_usage=0,
                                     @memory_limit=0,
                                     @cpu_shares=1024,
                                     @cpu_usage="23994168167209",
                                     @ip="192.168.0.2">

Get container config

config = con.manager.container_config 'my-fancy-container-name'
puts config['lxc.network.veth.pair']

Update config items

config = con.manager.container_config 'my-fancy-container-name'
config['lxc.network.veth.pair'] = 'none'
con.manager.write_config 'my-fancy-container-name', config

Create container

con.manager.create_container 'testcontainer', 'gentoo'

Start container

con.manager.start_container 'testcontainer'

Stop container

con.manager.stop_container 'testcontainer'

Destroy container

con.manager.destroy_container 'testcontainer'

Create container

con.manager.create_container 'testcontainer', 'gentoo'

Get templates

con.manager.template_names

Get template help text

puts con.manager.template_help 'archlinux'
